"Miss Yan, be careful."

After leaving the clothing shop, they walked down the street.

Suddenly, a large crowd of people surged toward the county government office.

Yan Nanfei was almost knocked to the ground, but fortunately Lin Feng reacted quickly and pulled her into his arms.

"What's going on?" Yan Nanfei's heart was pounding. Looking at the backs of the crowd, he was puzzled. "Let's go and follow them to see."

"Miss Yan, why don't you stay here with me?" Lin Feng didn't want Yan Nanfei to be jostled and hurt. "Let me check first, then I'll come back and let you know."

“That works too.” Yan Nanfei thought for a moment and agreed with his method: “Be careful. If you can’t squeeze in, don’t force it.”

"Yes." Lin Feng smiled gently, "Lin Feng will remember Miss Yan's concern."

He turned and left, his elegant figure swaying in the wind, even his walk was so eye-catching.

After a long while, the people who had run away from the front scattered in all directions.

It was as if they were being chased by a fierce tiger, which terrified them and caused them to flee for their lives in all directions.

"Miss Yan." Lin Feng ran back quickly, panting heavily.

Yan Nanfei turned around and looked at Lin Feng, who looked nervous, and asked, "Even you are so panicked, could it be that something really bad has happened?"

"Hmm." Lin Feng looked at the chaotic Qingshan Town: "Let's go back to the house and talk about it."

To avoid crowd riots and uncontrollable dangers.

Lin Feng moved with incredible speed, carrying Yan Nanfei back to the house before Yan Nanfei could react.

Then put Yan Nanfei down, and bolt the door to ensure safety.

“Miss Yan, just now the government posted a notice that Lin’an County has been occupied by the enemy.” Lin Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead: “The county magistrate also announced the withdrawal of troops from Qingshan Town.”

Yan Nanfei was startled: "The county magistrate is withdrawing his troops?"

Then wouldn't Qingshan Town become an empty shell?

When the enemy attacks, we can take over Qingshan Town without losing a single soldier.

"How dare the county magistrate leave?" Yan Nanfei frowned. "Without the emperor's decree, isn't he afraid of being beheaded for abandoning his post?"

Yan Nanfei was not talking nonsense; the withdrawal of government officials from each town required an imperial edict posted publicly.

But Gang Linfeng did not mention the imperial edict, only saying that it was dictated by the county magistrate.

"Some people have also raised questions about this issue." Lin Feng sighed and said, "But the county magistrate said that since things have come to this point, all we can do is protect ourselves. The emperor's decree is not as valuable as a penny in our pocket."

This also indirectly suggests that the current emperor's power is not what it used to be.

Yan Nanfei's thoughts drifted back to the Imperial Seal of the State stored in the warehouse...

It's likely that the fact that it's fake has aroused suspicion, which is why the Oriental Pearl Tower was dispatched to search for it.

The Oriental Pearl Tower, this pawn, has been lost and can no longer send messages to the capital.

Most importantly, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.

What the emperor does will always be known to someone.

This supreme throne is coveted by people at all times.

Those who covet it now may not be able to wait any longer.

The emperor, sitting on the throne, would not easily relinquish it.

However, they both have to lose.

In the end, the world will belong to Yan Nanfei.

When the world is in chaos, a person of great nobility will inevitably emerge, seize the throne, and become the ruler of the world.

And this person was Yan Nanfei.

"Let's go to the Liu residence first." Yan Nanfei's deep gaze fell on Lin Feng's face: "Don't rush. Even if there are a hundred enemy soldiers in front of us, I can still ensure your safety."

Lin Feng pursed his lips: "Miss Yan, I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about you."

"Okay, I know." Yan Nanfei patted his arm. "Let's go."

When they came out, the crowd on the street included people crying and people fleeing with large and small bags.

They wanted to follow the soldiers to evacuate the capital, hoping to gain protection and ensure their safety.

The most chaotic place was the grain shop.

The queue stretched almost to the city gate.

Several grain shops were even rioted, with a lot of grain being looted, and the owners were crying uncontrollably.

Looking at the chaotic crowd, Yan Nanfei felt a pang of sadness.

In times of chaos, the most miserable are the common people.

And the soldiers who had to go to the battlefield, and their families.

When they arrived at the Liu residence.

Liu Yunyao was arranging for people to distribute rice to the people.

The people in front of the government office were all orderly and dared not cause any disturbance.

This was because Liu Yunyao had arranged for about a hundred servants, each wielding a large cleaver.

She threatened that if anyone dared to cause trouble, she would kill them on the spot.

"Everyone, this grain is from the Liu family's reserves. Now that you are all suffering, I, Liu Yunyao, will definitely lend a helping hand." Liu Yunyao stood on the steps: "I only ask that you do not harm the lives of anyone in my Liu family. If you see anything in my Liu family that you like, you are welcome to go in and choose, just please do not hurt anyone."

Liu Yunyao's first words were "store grain," and her second was "go inside to select."

The people went in and looted, but instead of being grateful, they lost their conscience.

People are willing to take out their stored grain for relief, which means that the grain reserves are truly depleted.

"Miss Liu is a very kind person. We will certainly not disturb the peace of Miss Liu's residence!"

With that, Liu Yunyao smiled and bowed slightly: "Yunyao is here to thank everyone."

Yan Nanfei watched Liu Yunyao's every move and admired her greatly.

She knew that her family was large and powerful, and if Qingshan Town were thrown into chaos, her Liu family would certainly be unable to survive.

Therefore, it is best to make the first move to protect oneself.

As for the 100,000 jin of rice piled up like a small mountain, it was only a small part of the Liu family's grain reserves.

But Liu Yunyao was eloquent and had produced 100,000 jin of grain, which was enough to appease the people.

"Yao Yao." Yan Nanfei stepped forward and called out.

Liu Yunyao was busy with the distribution of grain with her servants, and with so many people around, she didn't notice Yan Nanfei's presence for a moment.

"Nanfei?" Liu Yunyao saw Yan Nanfei, instructed the servants to distribute the grain, took Yan Nanfei's hand, and led Linfeng into the Liu residence: "Come on, let's go inside and talk."

"Yaoyao, are you planning to leave?" Yan Nanfei asked bluntly.

Liu Yunyao comes from a wealthy and powerful family, and she can find out about any movements or disturbances in the government before many others do.

“I’m not going anywhere. I’ll stay in Qingshan Town and follow you,” Liu Yunyao said earnestly.

"Yaoyao, the enemy might reach Qingshan Town at any time. Why don't you come back to Qingshan Village with me?"

Liu Yunyao shook her head: "No rush. Although Zhao'an County has been occupied, the enemy needs time to rest and recuperate. They probably won't be able to reach here within three to five months."

Yan Nanfei raised an eyebrow, disagreeing with Liu Yunyao's words.

"Yaoyao, you should understand the principle of pressing your advantage when you're ahead." Yan Nanfei frowned slightly.

“I understand…” Liu Yunyao sighed.

"Alright, if there's any trouble, come to Qingshan Village to find me immediately." Yan Nanfei understood her; no one wanted to leave their home.

"Nanfei, don't worry, I will," Liu Yunyao said with a smile.

Yan Nanfei would secretly arrange for bodyguards to protect Liu Yunyao's safety.
